Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When George Bush writes John Kerry's home state, how is it spelled (well, pronounced anyhow)?

Answer: Mass-uh-chew-sits

Bush is commonly criticized for what his rivals call lack of intelligence. After the crayon-writing, "Don't Mess with Texas" is seen.

2. John Kerry is described as a "liberal weiner."

Answer: True

Kerry was called the most liberal United States Senator by a non-partisan publication. The weiner? John Kerry's wife is part of the ketchup company that bears her name. Other expressions in the song about Kerry: Liberal sissy and pinko Commie!

3. Who does Bush compare Kerry to?

Answer: Herman Munster

Kerry is criticized for his lack of demeanor. Some comedians have called Kerry a "horseface."

"I'm a great crusader, you're a Herman Munster."

4. What math problem is seen on the blackboard when Kerry sings his first verse?

Answer: 9+3=14

Both went to Ivy League schools, but Bush is accused of nepotism by being accepted to Yale thanks to his father. Kerry also calls Bush a "right wing nutjob" and "dumb as a doorknob."

5. How many Vietnamese are blown up when Kerry throws his grenade?

Answer: 2

Kerry served in Vietnam, but some veterans are saying Kerry's anti-war history shows him underserving of being President. Kerry often counters with questions of why Bush didn't go and questions his own record.

6. Bush begins his second verse by singing "You have more waffles than a house of pancakes; you offer flip-flops."

Answer: True

Bush is explaining how Kerry often changes his positions on issues like affirmative action, taxes, and even the war.

7. How many one-hundred dollar bills does Bush hold?

Answer: 3

Bush offered Americans a small tax cut during his administration. Some say tax cuts are wrong during times of uncertainty.

8. Kerry's line: "You can't say _____, that really scares me."

Answer: nuclear

Again with the lack of intelligence thing. Bush speeches have become late night fodder. "Nuclear" is often mispronounced as "nu-kyu-ler."

9. What TV network is parodied when Kerry inserts a brain in Bush's head?

Answer: Fox News

The network in the parody is called the "Big News Channel."

Answer: Donald Rumsfeld and Howard Dean

At the end of Kerry's second verse, Howard Dean is seen screaming, reminiscent of the Iowa caucus where Dean made that speech. You know: "We're gonna win (place state here) and then we're gonna take back the White House! YEAH! YEAH!"

11. What five words are seen under the word "Botox?"

Answer: Not Just For Old Ladies

Kerry has been known to lead an extravagant lifestyle. He owns a yacht, five mansions, and has the occasional Botox injection. The song goes: Bush - "Hey, you've got that Botox." Kerry - "But I still won three Purple Hearts."

12. In the scene with the Native American, what company is not parodied?

Answer: McDonald's

The Native American says, "This land was my land." Chorus: "But now it's our land." Mockeries include: Nexxo (Exxon), Menzy's (Wendy's), Big J (Big K-Mart), Booger King (Burger King), Big Buy (Best Buy), and Mal-Mart (Wal-Mart).

13. In the scene where Clinton sings his line, the stripes on his boxers are horizontal.

Answer: False

Actually, they're vertical. The part goes: Arnold - "From Kal-ee-forn-ya!" Clinton - "To the New York Isle... (slapped by Hillary) What did I do?"

14. Complete this line: "From the _________ to the __________."

Answer: liberal weiners/right wing nut jobs

Kerry is seen in a hot dog costume holding a bottle of ketchup. Bush is seen in military garb.

15. Who says the last words in the song?

Answer: Bush

Bush says: "Oh, and Dick Cheney, too!"

The parody can be seen on jibjab.com. Whether you're pro-Bush or pro-Kerry, it's really funny.
